Hello, everyone!
I took a few weeks break from game development, but I really, really wanted to finish the update draft this month. And, happy to say, I did finish! So, we're back on track for the next update... I estimate that the update will likely happen around May. I'll be devoting the entirety of April for CGs and Code, while also waiting for Clovis to finish the upd...
2025-03-25 10:04:13 +0000 UTC View PostSo, if you guys haven't been keeping up with our socials or the game page, I recently got an entitled troll that wouldn't stop harassing me on the game page. This isn't new. I've gotten haters before, I've gotten spam, but this is the first time I've gotten actively harassed in public by an entitled so-called "fan" who didn't like that I responded curtly to Android demands.

Hello, everyone!
The code is actually done. It's just pending some journal updates for the last of Vincenzo's route. The writer for the journal, Mell, is someone that has a day job, so I don't think it's appropriate to make them crunch for the update considering this is just a volunteer gig. They said that they should get the updates to me by the end of the week.
I'm itching to be p...

Hello, Patreon!
If you've been following my socials, we have an exciting update on December that will lead to the conclusion of Chapter 1, which is the free-to-play public demo of Reanimated Heart. I first posted the Prologue on December 2022. It's so exciting to think about how far the story, and the fandom, has grown since then.
This update, like usual, contains three in-game days...

Lately, I've been obsessing over the concept of murder sims, so I was inspired to make one myself. And what's a better time to release it during the spooky season?

Hello!
After months of writing, editing, illustrating, and coding, the first build of the next Content Update is now done for Patrons!
Unfortunately, I am not yet uploading this to the public, because there are many things I wish to implement, but ran out of time for. I understand that this is a demo and a free game, but my personal preference is to drop big updates with months in b...

The update with the game? I have officially sent over my game to my Programmer to code. Ideally, the next update will drop next week, or the week after that!
Before that... I've been fixing up the socials, and now I've made an OFFICIAL Reanimated Heart Discord server! Come join us in chat, and get exclusive RH updates, lore, and emojis/stickers!
